POTAMITISVEKRIS

George is a dedicated expert in the field of banking, capital markets and real estate. He has played a pivotal role in the recent development of the Greek banking sector, contributing to the redrafting of the HFSF law which paved the way for the 2013 bank recapitalizations to take place and participating in many of the mergers and acquisitions which consolidated the sector.

His finance practice includes advising clients, mainly banks, on their entry into syndicated loans, bond loans and restructurings, including voluntary and pre-bankruptcy processes. He has considerable experience in tender offers, rights issues and M&A transactions, with a focus on listed companies and private equity.

George has a broad expertise in the area of real estate, advising on traditional asset acquisitions as well as complex structurings and financings. He has acted in many of the landmark Greek real estate transactions that took place in the last decade.

George lectures at Piraeus University. He previously taught at Alba University and at the Athens Exchange Training Centre.
